The Hollandaise sauce of the Benedict eggs is much thicker than the ones I've had before, with a dense and creamy texture. The poached eggs are just the right amount of runny, and go well with the smoked salmon. The toasted toast used as the base is a bit hard to cut after being left for a long time, so I prefer the traditional muffin. The Italian beans are lighter, the flat white is normal, and the mocha is not as sweet as the heavy chocolate, but it is more pleasing.
This is a popular branch restaurant in Canberra. The whole restaurant has a very open environment. Here you can taste Australian dishes that are both beautiful and delicious. Paired with a cup of fragrant coffee, it is really a very sumptuous lunch. The business is very good. Sometimes you need to come early to get a seat. It is highly recommended.

The food was great and the wine selection was great and really refreshing
It's a pity that I forgot to take a photo. The taste is very much to my taste, so the recommendation index is 5🌟

It is a famous local western restaurant with a very elegant decoration. The local dishes are fresh and taste excellent.
The rib eye steak, artichokes (with shredded truffles) and toasted bread pudding were all very good and filling.

Standout dishes include smoked salmon, soft shell crab and chilli eggs, courgette fritters and Portuguese empanadas. Everything is very good, with the menu focusing heavily on healthy food.

The loveliest team, always so friendly in the mornings. Great coffee and milk tea. Food is great too! I love coming here. Thank you for what you do!
It's so popular for a reason. Have a coffee by the fountain or under the trees next to the cafe. The sandwiches and cakes are good too.
